Things to do with kids in Anchorage

15 places

  1. 1. Anchorage MuseumThe Imaginarium Discovery Center inside is a highlight for school-aged children, offering hands-on science stations and space to roam. Expect to spend two to three hours here. The facility is stroller-friendly with clean restrooms and a quiet atmosphere that helps avoid sensory overload during weekday mornings.
  2. 2. Alaska Native Heritage CenterThis center is excellent for teaching older children about indigenous cultures through outdoor village sites and live demonstrations. The outdoor walk around the lake takes about an hour, so bring a jacket. Staff members are generally very helpful in explaining traditions to curious kids.
  3. 3. Kincaid ParkThis massive park is best for active families who enjoy hiking or biking. There is plenty of paved trail space for strollers, though the hills can be tiring for toddlers. Keep an eye out for moose and ensure kids stay close, as this is a true wilderness area.
